for example, their healthcare. you know, a major difference in this campaign is that governor romney feels comfortable having politicians in washington decide the healthcare choices that women are making. i think that's a mistake. in my healthcare bill, i said insurance companies need to provide contraceptive coverage to everybody who's insured, because this is not just a health issue, it's an economic issue for women. it makes a difference. this is money out of that family's pocket. governor romney not only opposed it, he suggested that in fact employers should be able to make the decision as to whether or not or not a woman gets contraception through her insurance coverage. that's not the kind of advocacy that women need. when governor romney says that we should eliminate funding for planned parenthood, there are millions of women all across the country who rely on planned parenthood for not just contraceptive case, they rely on it for mammograms, for cervical cancer screenings. that's a pocketbook issue for wome
